Let’s understand collective cell migration by breaking it down to its essential elements! I'm Leone Rossetti, and this is a thread showcasing what we can learn from cells journeying along narrow paths, and from the forces they generate. #EpithelialMechanics

New preprint from the lab! We studied how single cells migrate up, down and about fibronectin gradients. Experiments by Isabela Corina Fortunato, PhD , theory by David Bruckner. Collaboration with Edouard Hannezo and Raimon Sunyer IBEC biorxiv.org/content/10.110…


Epigenetic regulation of placental vascularization – now published in Developmental Cell (sciencedirect.com/science/articl…). Congratulations and thanks to Stephanie Gehrs for fantastic work and paving the way of the augustinlab.de into the world of vascular epigenetics. There’s more to come!




The Vascular Biology & Disease Lab is recruiting one Postdoc to work on a fascinating project on blood vessels and sleeping sickness in collaboration with Luisa Figueiredo lab. More info: tinyurl.com/2cta2898











1️⃣For years, scientists have known that mechanical tension influences cell behavior. But in our recent study in Nature Materials we found that it is not just the amount of tension—it is the direction! nature.com/articles/s4156…

If you are interested in vascular malformations you may want check our new work published today Cancer Discovery , where we discover a somatic genetic event causing vascular malformations in PTEN hamartoma tumour syndrome (PHTS) aacrjournals.org/cancerdiscover…
